Its meta AF atm, but the last thread is sooooo stale. The Game surprisingly continues! Infernius is borderline suicidal with a stalker, Trump and Tracy finally got engaged, Torcuil is in hiding, Norfilly is eating candy, Taylor is getting praise and adoration, Alex is a statue, Yak Lee is the surprise contender in the Fight Club,... yeah so stuff.

The generals.
If by any means at all possible, Trumpaladin communicates the following to Fae
"Path off of the main logging rode, partly disguised, find it and follow it. Single file line towards swamp. Have the men leave their horses there. Tell them have weapons drawn and be ready, look for danger. If you are ambushed, you'll have to fight it out, and call me."

Technically having an empathic link with Fae (cuz mount) communicated.
The tracks appear to curve around the edge of a large bog. The ground - though moist - appears fairly well traveled both along the perimeter and leading to and from it. It seems that a variety of life uses this bog for a variety of purposes.

What kind of tracks are there other than troll prints? Anything of significance?

Check dead fish. Is it something that could have been lifted out of the big by a bird? Could it have been left there from higher water levels? Or is it so big or from so far away something else must have dragged it out?

Alright.
What about the surrounding area? Are there any tall trees surrounding the place, or is it mostly open?
Either way, look more closely to determine where the trolls have gone.

Its only part of a fish, and its rotten AF, but it appears to have come from nearby, possibly even the bog that you're near. You're welcome to check, but ew.
>>27825
There are sparse, mossy covered trees, many of which have observable rot or decay, though some seem pretty solid. The area is more clear to the south-west, suggesting that it would be more hospitable to bipeds.

Upon passing and walking away from the bog, the ground slowly begins to thicken and dry. Its still mostly overgrown, but with the increasing stability the trail becomes more apparent and discernable.

How far behind Trump and Tracy are the Generals ooc?
Bug sounds decrease (but never cease) as along the path there appear to be edifices. Nothing particularly well-refined, but sticks tied to sticks, and the occasional hanging-mass (moss, sticks, and,... stuff?).

You know, ferns and trees and brush and shit. Its the edge of a swamp, with moss and lots of overgrown-greenery.
Brown is bog praise be, Blue is current location. Its more lit than previous areas (less tree overgrowth). With Tracy and Trump's gradual and elevated approach (no contact with ground means uber-silent) they are able to determine that this is a(the) troll encampment. A central fire cooks otherwise spoiled meat, spare weapons (crude javelins and throwing axes and clubs) adorn a rack nearby, sounds of other trolls can be heard from further on.

Female trolls are bigger than male trolls and easily capable of hunting. They'll eat eachother if they have to.

Nah, circle around the rear end of the dragon (fly over water) as stealthily as possible, and get a better view first.
Then make a ride-by sneak attack on its wing (use poison)
Only he first attacjk is a sneak attack, but the Quickened blade can attack two more times after, so rolling 3d20 after the charge.
After that ride-by attack, fuck off asap.

She just did. She just didn't want to attack from the front, or stay within acid range
Tracy takes advantage of her fly speed to circle around the edge of the bog to get out of the beast's line of sight.
Activate Robe of Scintilating colors and snort out as much smoke as possible.

She isn't wasting any time: she's going straight.
Idk why you want to waste time by following the path and then end up in the Dragon's shooting range, when you have the opportunity to make a surprise attack and still end up in the same place in front of the dragon.
You don't charge dragons head-on.
>lay on hands
Save it for the men. This thing is going to cover the whole swamp in acid, and it'll suck if their bodies melt.
